No one gonna question how Omega Shenron was about to eat the Dragon Ball but Goku just takes it from him?

...Just takes it from him? Final villain of GT everyone.

He wasn't Omega Shenron yet...

He was Syn Shenron 6/7

Watchinf Fusion's older videos, I never realized the Red Ribbon Army arc was so forgotten. Watching it on tv as a boy, I loved the shit out of it, especially watching Goku just go full on One-Man Army on them at the climax.

Even more than his strength, Goku's true talent is his appetite.

I like that scene where Goku unleashes a badass speech against Eis Shenron for daring to hurt his family.

That may not be what Toriyama had in mind but Goddamn do I love serious Goku. [tup]

[up][up][up]Yeah, but the context is him stopping the villain from powering up...

More of that from pretty much anyone would be nice...

And almost dying via choking...

[up]But all the villains hurt Karrot's family in some way, so...

[up][up] Yeah but its the first time we see Goku give a really badass speech about how you don't mess with a man's family & had Eis kowtowing like a little bitch.

[down] Alright then. [tup]

man i like caulifla and all but her and kale's progress over literally a couple of days is irritating when compared to characters that we've known for longer

there isnt even a good reason for it either

The first two important female Super Saiyans needed to be better than this.

Then again, with a few exceptions (that still get screwed over later) women in Dragon ball don't exactly get treated well.

Hearts out to 18 who got the short end of the stick in her elimination.

...... Then again Piccolo & Tien's eliminations lacked dignity as well.

I'd take Caulifla and Kale any day over Super Videl and Chi-Chi.

Fair

I miss Z Videl and DB Chi Chi

but man is power scaling getting really out of hand

i dont even dislike kale and i like caulifla. just like. dont make them both super prodogies with tingly backs. it wouldn't have been hard just to lower the bar of people they could reasonably take on. or have them reasonably get super saiyan during the TOP when they're in danger and worried about each other rather than right before via tingly backs.

when she trains to become one of the strongest fighters in the world because she's pissed at Goku [lol]

Yeah. She showed up all of twice in the manga, and only got to be easily defeated by Goku.

I suppose her being an actual fighter is probably what's missed, even if she had the poor luck of arriving too late to be a player (and not having any desire to even be so either).

At least she wasn't a nagging shrew.

Okay yeah that's what you miss about DB Chi-Chi, SHE WASN'T A NAGGING SHREW.

Disregarding the very short appearances & being a jerkish stalker in the second.

I didn't mind the nagging because her voice sound(ed) nice...

She's only (more of) a nag in the anime because anime writers can't seem to avoid running gags into the ground. Look at Black Clover's anime with the whole "I'm gonna marry this nun" thing.

There's also how Sakura keeps acting like a violent nut in Naruto.

..... Wait wasn't the Chi-Chi leaves Goku for dead at the end of the Saiyan Saga anime only?

By leaves him for dead, you mean just ignores him in favor of her significantly less injured son...then yes.

[up][up][up]Yah, I know 'bout them running gags...I don't understand the frequency of them. Anime writing is weird about that.

[up] Yup that exactly. Just wanted to over exaggerate to make her look bad.

Well at least that's not in the original manga.

About the running gags from what I heard its cause the Japanese really like repetition & so they like repeating the same shit over & over again.
